4th place in a major mag shootout! KTM, Husky, Kawasaki, Honda. Maybe not worth waiting for. :-(

Heard the same thing from more than one publication, that it's not all its cracked up to be. I heard they put it on the dyno and it wasn't what was claimed and forks were no good. That's what I heard, don't shoot the messenger.

I think ML was concerned from the start they would be to rigid for us mortals in rough tracks.
yes Deetsmx talks to few of the publications, so he knows best, lets take his word as gospel, first hand knowledge is much better than rumors or own personal views

No, Deetsmx said that he heard it from the publications themselves, so cannot be speculation Smile

Don't bother explaining. Some people just want to wait and anticipate the new CRF will be the best bike ever by far. I think ML already said he'd take the AER forks over the springs which isn't hearsay.

I'm surprised we still haven't seen much of the RX at this point.
The "wise man's" version has a press launch in 2 weeks.

I did not say you did not, in fact I said the opposite, I think you need to re-read my post... in case you cant be bothered I clearly said what you said cannot be speculation as you know the people in some publications

I'be been patient, but am starting to get concerned that we will hear about the 2017 450sxf factory edition before the crf450r hits the showroom. Then I will have to start re analyzing which bike to get.

Come on Honda save me from more stress and take my money!
